Asked for gluten free menu upon arrival, waiter asked specifics on if I had a wheat allergy or gluten sensitive. I explained I have celiac disease and they were very accommodating and made sure that no gluten products were in any of the food I wanted to order and prepared correctly. The cooks accidentally put my gluten free sushi roll on the same plate as my friends no gf roll, and before even coming out realized this and had a new roll made from scratch onto a separate plate so no cross contamination. They came out to let me know of this error and they were fixing it.. They brought out my own bottle of gluten free soy sauce special. Would absolutely go back as they clearly knew the need for no t just gluten free but no contamination either

First time ever eating sushi and it was delicious! They have a dedicated GF menu and the staff/chefs were very knowledgeable about GF. I was looking for something spicy but most spicy sushi is not gluten free. The chef reported that the hot popper is gluten free if they swap raw jalapeño for jalapeño tempura (fried). Chef’s changed gloves, cleaned the area they were preparing my food, and used ingredients from the back. If I could give 6 stars, I would!

Really good sushi! I order from here a lot for delivery and once I got Non-Gluten free soy sauce but it was prepackaged so I knew before eating. I always get the Philadelphia and a squid salad.

Best sushi ever. I went at a lunch and got their 2 rolls and a salad special! They also have plenty of vegan options too. My favorite is the green goddess roll! It is BIG and delicious. Waitress was knowledgeable and brought me gf salad dressing and tamari without asking!

Separate GF menu, really limited (but still great options) compared to the main one so don’t torture yourself and look at the main menu first.

GF soy sauce, knowledgeable servers who can mark the gluten “allergy” for the kitchen - they change gloves and clean utensils / boards.

overall a delicious and safe option!

They have a separate GF menu. Not as extensive as the regular menu, but still full of great options. They have GF soy sauce. And they’re always sure to ask if my GF preference is an allergy and make the proper accommodations. I have never had a bad experience.

I was in the other day and my server was phenomenal. She was sure to talk to the kitchen about my allergy without me even asking her to. Someone tried to bring out my salad and out wonton strips on it. She stopped them before the even got to the table and had it remade for me.

Been here twice now and both times food and drinks were amazing! They’re very careful with bringing food out and even reminding me when I’m unable to have something. The servers are extremely kind and even recommended some of their own favorite GF dishes.
